SafeShelf manages GPSR requirements across your entire Shopify catalog — manufacturer details, responsible persons, safety information, and compliance status — so you don't have to do it product by product.
The EU General Product Safety Regulation requires every product listing to display specific manufacturer and safety information. There are no native Shopify fields for any of it. You're either non-compliant, or you're manually editing metafields product by product.
SafeShelf adds the required data fields, syncs them to your storefront, and tells you exactly which products are compliant and which aren't.
Stop editing metafields by hand. SafeShelf manages the data, renders it on your storefront, and tracks compliance across your catalog.
See at a glance which products are compliant and which are missing required information. Filter by status, collection, or vendor. Click any product to fix what's missing.
Create manufacturer profiles once, assign them to products in bulk. If the manufacturer is non-EU, the app prompts you to link a Responsible Person. One setup, every product.
All required fields in one place: manufacturer, responsible person, product identifiers, safety instructions, and warnings. Per-product or in bulk via CSV.
A Theme App Extension block you drag into your product page template. Displays all GPSR information to customers in the right language. Zero code required.
Select products by collection or vendor and assign manufacturers in bulk. Or import your GPSR data via CSV with validation and dry-run preview. Handles thousands of SKUs.
Enter safety instructions in your primary language, then add translations for each EU market you sell to. AI-assisted translation available to speed up the process.
No theme editing, no code, no consultants.
One click from the Shopify App Store. Your products sync automatically.
Create profiles for each manufacturer. Add a Responsible Person if they're outside the EU.
Assign manufacturers in bulk by collection or vendor. Add identifiers and safety info.
Drag the SafeShelf block into your product page template in the theme editor. Done.

The General Product Safety Regulation (EU 2023/988) became mandatory on December 13, 2024 for all non-food consumer products sold in the EU. If you sell physical products to EU customers from your Shopify store, GPSR applies to you — regardless of where your business is based. This includes merchants in the US, UK, China, Australia, and anywhere else shipping to EU countries.
Every product listing must include the manufacturer's name, postal address, and email; an EU Responsible Person's contact details (if the manufacturer is outside the EU); a product identifier such as a batch, serial, or model number; and safety instructions and warnings in the language of the destination country.
If the manufacturer of a product is based outside the EU, an EU-based Responsible Person must be designated. This person serves as the regulatory contact for EU market surveillance authorities. They verify documentation is available and cooperate with authorities during investigations. The Responsible Person is not liable for product defects — that responsibility stays with the manufacturer. If you need an RP, SafeShelf can point you to vetted service providers.
Non-compliance can result in products being removed from EU marketplaces, fines from member state market surveillance authorities, and border seizures of goods entering the EU. Amazon has already begun delisting non-compliant products. Penalties vary by member state but can be substantial.
No. Shopify has no built-in fields for manufacturer information, EU Responsible Person details, or structured safety instructions. Their documentation recommends using third-party apps for GPSR compliance. SafeShelf adds these fields via product metafields and provides a storefront widget to display them to customers.
No. The storefront widget is a Theme App Extension that renders using Liquid and CSS — no JavaScript, no external API calls at page load. It reads directly from product metafields that are already part of Shopify's page data. There is zero performance impact.
Yes. The free plan covers up to 5 products with full functionality — no credit card required. All paid plans include a 14-day free trial. You can evaluate the app completely before committing.
US Shopify merchants selling physical consumer products into the EU should review GPSR and related EU readiness requirements. SafeShelf helps identify missing product safety, manufacturer, Responsible Person, language, customs, and order-readiness data, but it is not legal advice.
No. SafeShelf helps merchants create, assign, and audit Responsible Person profiles across Shopify products. It does not act as the merchant's EU Responsible Person.
Yes. SafeShelf helps merchants track product identifier readiness, including identifier type and value, so teams can review missing model, batch, serial, SKU, or other traceability fields.
Yes. SafeShelf helps merchants manage warnings and safety instructions as part of the product-readiness workflow and storefront disclosure process.
SafeShelf is designed around an install, scan, and fix workflow. Setup time depends on catalog size and how complete the merchant's product, manufacturer, Responsible Person, safety, and customs data already is.
SafeShelf is designed for catalog workflows with dashboards, issue queues, reusable profiles, bulk editing, and CSV import/export paths.
SafeShelf helps surface missing HS code and country-of-origin data for customs-readiness workflows. It is not a customs broker and does not guarantee tariff treatment.
No. SafeShelf is an operational readiness tool. It helps merchants identify missing data and manage review workflows, but it does not provide legal advice or certify products.
